MARSHALL’S VEGETABLE SEEDS. 
■ 19 
LETTUCE 
One ounce will sow 200 feet of drill. 
Sow in the open ground as early as 
]) 0 ssible, barely eovering the seed. If 
the hot-bed is used, let it be started 
quite earlj'. Give but little heat and 
plenty of water and air on line days. 
Let plants in the bed be about 1 inches 
apart. As they increase in size thin 
them out, or they will become weak. 
Lettuce generally runs to seed very 
early in the season, so that after warm 
weather sets in it is difficult to find a 
good head of Lettuce in most gardens. 
The remedy is to plant for late use in 
a cool, partialhq shaded place, in rich 
soil.
